We invite the author(s) to choose the preprint server that suits their research. When the manuscripts submitted for evaluation have preliminary versions (preprint), the type of review will be differentiated. Due to the scope of our journal we recommend:

• SciELO Preprints (https://preprints.scielo.org)
• Soc Arxiv (https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/)
• SSRN (https://papers.ssrn.com)

Preprints should be published in PDF, HTML or XML format. Most servers allow automatic conversion to one of these formats. The correspondence author must indicate within the Open Science Compliance Form (DOWNLOAD) to be submitted as an additional and complementary file to the text manuscript via the online submission system. 

Tables, graphs, and images:
